At this time, the Chu army has occupied Liyang County, which is adjacent to the Yangtze River and is one of the important river ports across the river to the east, and the Liyang River Port at this time has begun to prepare for ships busily, and the Chu army has moved south at any time.

In the river port shipyard, Ge Ying, accompanied by his henchmen and two staff, visited various docks to check the progress of the preparation of the warship, although Ge Ying did not say a word at this time, but he was thinking about the advice given to him by his henchmen the day before yesterday.

If you cross the river, you can take the opportunity to win over Xiang Liang's Jiangdong Chu army and support Xiangjiang together, but this is just an excuse, the real purpose is to take the opportunity to seize Xiang Liang's military power and incorporate his troops.

However, there are also loopholes in the advice given to him by his henchmen, Ge Ying noticed it on the first day, if Xiang Liang's strength is far greater than his own, then will Xiang Xiangjiang turn to focus on Xiang Liang and ignore himself? Then wouldn't you be shooting yourself in the foot! The gains outweigh the losses.

It is precisely because of this that Ge Ying has been slow to make up his mind, although he is actively preparing for the war, but in the end he can't cross the river, Ge Ying still can't make up his mind.

Everyone had walked out of the dock at this time, and there were still two in front of them, but Ge Ying didn't have the heart to look at it anymore, he had stopped at this time and waved his hand to everyone: "Don't look at it, let's go back." ”

The staff and henchmen nodded their heads, Ge Ying led everyone to go back, at this time, several relatives brought a few horses, Ge Ying turned over on the horse, and looked back at the dock again, whether to go south or continue to march to the rest of the counties in Jiujiang, Ge Ying hesitated again in his heart.

A messenger came galloping from a distance, and before he could reach Ge Ying's side, he couldn't wait to shout: "General, send an urgent document from Yin Tomb to King Zhang Chu!" ”

"King Zhang Chu?" Ge Ying couldn't help but be surprised, who is King Zhang Chu? He had never heard of it, and there was no relevant battle report, Ge Ying took the letter sent by the messenger with doubts, unfolded the bamboo slip and looked at it roughly, it was Chen Sheng's handwritten letter, which reproached him for betraying the alliance and betraying Zhang Chuguo.

Ge Yingru's second monk can't figure his head, when did this Chen Sheng become king? With doubts, Ge Ying looked at the messengers, who clenched their fists with both hands and said: "General, the latest information, Chen Sheng has been proclaimed king in Chen County, known as Zhang Chuguo, taking the meaning of Zhang Da Chu State, I heard that they have an army of nearly 200,000 at this time, and the momentum is huge, even the Qin State does not dare to underestimate it easily.

After the messenger finished speaking, Le turned his horse's head and left, Ge Ying looked at the back of the messenger leaving, stunned.

Chen Sheng's letter made it very clear that he would raise an army of 170,000 to go south, begging for Xiangjiang and himself, and let himself raise his head and beg to surrender, what kind of momentum is this, how can he resist the 170,000 army?

Moreover, since Ge Ying joined the army in Jiujiang, although the number has increased, the number of troops is only 13,000 people, and if he wants to resist Zhang Chujun, it is completely a mantis arm to block the car, thinking of this, Ge Ying secretly scolded the bad luck, he began to regret in his heart, regretted his hasty decision, regretted why he wanted to visit Xiangjiang in the first place, why did he change his hexagram in battle!

Thinking of all this, Ge Ying put the responsibility on his henchmen, if it wasn't for his instigation, if it wasn't for his advice, would he have been able to get to where he is today?

Thinking about the past few days, he let himself send troops to Jiangdong, join forces with Xiang Liang, and jointly support Xiangjiang, if he really went, perhaps, he would have been swallowed by Xiang Liang, let alone support Xiangjiang, thinking about this, Ge Ying felt that his henchman was simply an undercover agent, a tumor.

Ge Ying pulled out the bronze sword from his waist, turned around and looked at his henchman coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "You unlucky thing, you killed the old // son!" ”

After speaking, Ge Ying didn't wait for his henchmen to argue, a sword stabbed away, and the henchman held the bronze sword with both hands, his surprised eyes almost popped out, he didn't understand, what he did wrong, it would lead to death, but when he wanted to speak, he had already crooked and fell off the horse, his throat moved slightly, and finally he didn't say a word, and he died.

The death of the henchman made Ge Ying's two staff members terrified, Ge Ying had already put his sword into the sheath at this time, looked at the staff, and said hatefully: "He betrayed me, so he will have this end, you don't need to panic." ”

When the two staff members heard Ge Ying say this, their hearts were a little relieved, and at this time, Ge Ying no longer paid attention to the two of them, and rode their horses to Liyang County.

Back at the General's Mansion, Ge Ying threw the bronze sword to the ground, took off his leather armor himself, and then walked back to the map, scanning indiscriminately for a while, but he really couldn't think of a way, how could he resist Chen Sheng's 170,000 army?

Maybe Chen Sheng was just scaring himself, the purpose was to make himself panic and beg, thinking of this, Ge Ying called a personal attendant and coldly ordered: "You immediately send scouts to investigate Chen County, before dark, I want to get specific information about Chen County!" ”

The relatives left, and the panic in Ge Ying's heart was much less, so he walked back to the table and sat down, picked up a cup of tea on the table, a cup of tea that had been cold, and took a sip gently, the herbal tea was very unpalatable, he couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "Life is like tea, bitter and astringent, there is no smooth sailing, and there is no smooth sailing!" ”

With some emotion, Ge Ying half-leaned on the table, looked at the ceiling, and thought in his heart, if Chen Sheng really called the king, why had he not heard from him? Or, he got the news too late, which is related to Chen Sheng's lack of announcement, perhaps, this will be the best excuse for himself to face Chen Sheng.

But in any case, he was too negligent, why didn't he get the news of Chen Sheng's claim to be the king in the first place, so that he could completely avoid supporting Xiangjiang and would not lead to today's killing! All of this is too much of a coincidence.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have offended Chen Sheng, if it weren't for his own support for Xiangjiang, Chen Sheng wouldn't have rebelled to make an excuse to raise troops in Jiujiang, perhaps, this is the root of the crime, thinking of this, Ge Ying felt that killing Xiangjiang could redeem Chen Sheng's distrust of himself and offset his capital crime.

Just when Ge Ying was thinking nonsense, a person outside the door walked in, he handed over a roll of bamboo slips with both hands, and said loudly: "General, there is a person who claims to be Cai Ci's cronies, and he sent Cai Ci's handwritten letter here, please take a look at it." ”

Ge Ying was a little surprised, he took the letter, looked at three lines, and quickly read it, the letter was to the effect, "Tell him that Chen Sheng has murderous intentions, will raise an army of 170,000 to the south, Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but things still have a turnaround, as long as he kills Xiangjiang and returns to Chen County with his head to apologize, Chen Sheng will not kill Ge Ying, and will pardon him and let him return to Jiujiang, the opportunity must not be lost, Cai Ci advises Ge Ying to make a decision as soon as possible."

This letter is like timely rain and charcoal in the snow, so that Ge Ying can see a glimmer of hope, and it is completely consistent with his thoughts just now, only by killing Xiangjiang, all nightmares will pass, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Ge Ying shouted outside the door: "Someone, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come down to the palace for a while, just say that there is an urgent military matter that needs to be discussed......"

。。。。。。

Under the sun, in the twilight, Ge Ying, followed by several scouts, walked towards the guest hall of the General's Mansion.

According to the information brought back by the scouts, Chen Sheng has indeed begun to gather troops, and the number is huge, and the whereabouts are unknown, according to this information, Chen Sheng does have the possibility of going south.

More importantly, Ge Ying has determined that Chen Sheng did set himself up as king a few months ago, but he never got the information, and because of this, Ge Ying killed the commander of the scout battalion and hung his head under the banner of the gate to set an example.

Calculate the time, in half an hour, it will be time for Xiangjiang to arrive, tonight, Xiangjiang must die, otherwise, Zhang Chujun will be overwhelmed, and he will have no way to retreat.

At this time, in the guest hall of the General's Mansion, the soldiers were busy holding the dishes and placing them on the table, Ge Ying sat in his position in a daze, although he had murderous intentions, but he wanted to get rid of the King of Chu who he had set up, which made Ge Ying feel difficult to start, but Ge Ying knew that he had no choice, just when Ge Ying hesitated, a personal report sounded outside the door: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived." ”

Escorted by two personal guards, Xiang Xiangjiang walked in quickly and bowed to Chen Sheng: "General Chen, why are you in such a hurry to invite me to Liyang?" ”

"Urgent military affairs, 100,000 urgent, I have to trouble the King of Chu in person." Ge Ying smiled with a smile.

Hearing Ge Ying say that 100,000 was urgent, Xiang Xiangjiang's expression was serious, he waved his hand to the guards, the two guards turned around and left, and soon, the door was slowly closed, Ge Ying pointed to the banquet on the side and said: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, let's talk while eating." ”

At this time, Ge Ying pretended to be helpless, sighed, looked at Xiang Xiangjiang, and said in a tentative tone: "The spies I sent to Jiangdong reported that Xiang Liangjun was recruiting troops in Jiangdong, preparing to respond to Chen Sheng's call and go north across the river, so that we and them will become enemies, which is far contrary to our original plan to recruit Xiang Liang." ”

This sentence is a tentative word, see how much attention Xiang Xiangjiang attaches to Xiang Liang, if Xiang Xiang Jiang attaches more importance to Xiang Liang than himself, Ge Ying's determination to kill Xiang Liang will not waver, but if Xiang Xiang Jiang is willing to discuss with himself about seizing power because of this, perhaps, he can consider crossing the river with Xiang Xiang Jiang to defraud Hui Ji, seeking a way back, there is a risk of the Yangtze River, maybe he can confront Zhang Chujun.

Xiang Xiangjiang pondered for a moment, at this time he had looked up at Ge Ying, and sighed: "Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, his heart for Chu will not change, I think he must have misbelieved the words of others, so he will consider defecting to Chen Sheng, if the general is willing, I am ready to take on the task of Xiang Liang and keep his heart, if Xiang Liang is willing to come, the big thing will be done!" ”

Seeing that Xiang Xiangjiang finally considered recruiting Xiang Liang, and he had to take on Xiang Liang, what position should he be in? Ge Ying's heart suddenly appeared, he looked at Xiang Jiang coldly, and he had no intention of listening to Xiang Xiangjiang's words, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to recruit Xiang Liang, I have a way." ”

"What can the general do? Let's hear it. Xiang Xiangjiang was overjoyed and stared at Ge Ying, but Ge Ying raised his wine glass at this time and said coldly: "Borrow your head and use it!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Ying slammed the wine glass to the ground, the wine glass shattered, making a crisp sound, from behind the screen, more than 20 people suddenly rushed out, holding copper swords, slashing towards Xiangjiang, in an instant, blood splashed, Xiangjiang screamed several times and died.
